Ph.D. in Viral Epidemiology is an advanced research degree focusing on the study of virus transmission, outbreaks, and control strategies within populations. This interdisciplinary program combines epidemiology, virology, biostatistics, and public health to equip students with skills in data analysis, disease modeling, and viral ecology. Students conduct in-depth research on viral infection patterns, public health responses, and preventive measures, often collaborating with health organizations and research institutions. Typically, the program lasts 3-5 years, with students completing coursework, comprehensive exams, and a dissertation based on original research, preparing them for roles in academia, government, and public health agencies.
